LOVING

“since we heard of your faith in Christ and the love which you have for all the saints.”

Colossians 1:4

Have you ever noticed how there is a special bond between Christians? Or, saints, as Paul call us? 🙂 When we are filled with Christ’s Spirit, we love as He loved us. God is love, so it’s natural for Christians to love other Christians. I experience this all the time when I travel to teach at conferences. I may not know one soul when I arrive. But, immediately upon meeting other believers, I sense a swelling up of love inside of me for them. Maybe we aren’t loving by our own nature. But remember, saint, you have the bonus of a new nature – Christ’s! Let His love flow in and through you!

Lord God, You who are LOVE, swell up in me and fill me with Your love so that I love others as You do.
